oh i forgot to download the coachella one thanks! but yeah im aware its mostly fan recordings, are there any fan favorites / essentials from those?

what are the best quality sophie live recordings?

it sounds so good what an amazing surprise, can’t wait!

the comments under the live stream for the intro track are genuinely awful, so much hate. i hope the family won’t take it to heart…

wow awesome thank you very much

yee i found this link, just looking for more info about it. there is so much unreleased sophie wtf

first time ive heard about this one - was it performed live? cant find it on setlist.fm, does it have any other titles?

that would make sense! some demos of transnation and nybd have those transitions too, i thought it was just demo things but could be a conscious choice. i’m sure they will grow on me but i think i’ll wait for another listen when it’s actually out. also not saying they should lie ofc, just personally i would word it differently i guess / different perspective

why are you being so elitist lol i don’t mind random beat switchups, i just feel the transitioning between them is sloppy. i like the music, it’s just some minor criticism i have. also i meant speculating on where sophie would head with this album, not the situation around it. ben himself said some tracks were less finished, and he was just going off his instinct. which is not a couple of touches away nor a finalized product by any means. i’m not trying to know more than the family i’m just going based on facts they said. they tried their best working with what they had and i appreciate that, i just said in the beginning that because of its unfinished state (ben mentioned some tracks were just one day long sessions) it would probably be better to say it was a compilation than an album for the general reception, to avoid the unnecessary backlash from too much hype. i’m on the family side, i’m not criticising them lol

based on the more recent interviews it didnt come across to me as "only touches away from being complete" we can only speculate on this really in the end, but im just sharing how i feel about it and im definitely not trying to make the family a scapegoat. i appreciate what they did because it mustve been a hard process and i admire that. the mixing and mastering is absolutely stellar

nope, all new stuff --- i think this wouldve been way better off just calling itself a compilation instead of the long awaited second sophie album. it really feels like a bunch of demos put together, with weak transitions and awkward beat switchups. music is great because its sophie but the release feels wrong and going into it with the album headspace ruined the experience for me i think

based on the articles above id say there wasnt a title yet decided but transnation was one of them (as mentioned by ben). i think the self-title is a choice by ben, because of the finality. i dont think sophie would self title an album that is pretty much a collaboration album

i think the directions of NYBD, Europe or Transnation were still undecided based on the countless demos ive heard. idk but it clearly sounds to me like they were far from finished, with multiple totally different sections being added and with NYBD's and Europe's muddy and messy vocal takes from Sophie, which cant be rerecorded now, it makes sense to me those aren't being released. it's a shame but hey at least we have them in great quality.

sis was NOT lying about music incoming. LETS GOOOO
